Question: What do you mean "ending the curse for good"? It'll just start up again next year, just like it did before. All killing Mrs. Mikami did was end the deaths early, but given the extremely high body count, 4 to 8 people surviving out of a class of 20, they either met the yearly death quota, or exceeded it by 3, which is a hollow victory if I've ever heard one.

[@Tamyre101]

Idk about all that but a handful of students survived as not all students went on the trip and about 8 student who did go to the mansion survived

[@Tamyre101]

So probably like 15-18 students survived

The moment I looked at this it got edited xd

[@akumuryuu]

Well... protagonist didn't doom anyone, he was a red herring, not affecting the plot at all. Mei's eye also couldn't help much until the end part, since they didn't know that killing the dead person stops the curse. A lot of the suggested strategies were actually tried, but even if you remove the class 3, it'll just be a different class that's cursed. On the other hand, their case was easily solvable if they just looked at other classes. The fact that there's a second teacher, even though school staff is aware of the curse and wouldn't willingly add more people at risk. Well, the whole concept really falls apart if you think about it, considering school and even police knew about it. Keeping the class, but making it have only a single student each year would've solved it. The class still exists, but at worst there's a 1/2 chance to find the dead if it spawns, at best you can investigate both students in much more details than one out of 20 people. But I guess that was the point, there were some superiors in denial that never approved of any countermeasures.

[@memelescream4796]

just have the teacher give the actual student a gun lol

[@shadyb834]

The curse might have worked like The movie "It" where it distorts the memory every one around. Then again the solution is that they should hire a detective working far away to not be affected by the curse.

[@ChosenHeroLink]

They could hire a private investigator that lives far away and looks at footage of the class. The investigator could also take a picture or video tape the roster to look for any changes.

[@Kiss_My_Aspergers]

A lot of Japanese works, horror or otherwise, have a very consistent theme of what happens when trauma goes unaddressed, as well as common themes of parents/elders holding things back from their children/juniors to "protect them" and it coming back to bite them in the ass instead. It's always so interesting to look at where common themes are in media by culture or by nationality. It tells you a lot about where they are politically and sociologically. Just like the Internet Age has brought us more and more works addressing parasocial relationships, how online and offline behaviour translate back and forth, and of fears regarding privacy and security. I'd love to read a whole book on that. I have one about J-horror that talks about that, though!

I will say something about two of the deaths; The one who died by a heartattack. He isn't an example that the curse will just kill everyone who speaks about it with a heartattack. The kid got a heart attack and didn't die "flashy", but that is because the kid had a heart condition. I haven't seen the anime in years, but I remember it being mentioned early, that he had a weak heart or something, meaning he couldn't do PE. They legit from the start, set it up that he would die from a heartattack. So the whole japanese statistics for heart attacks didn't really matter in this death. The curse just did the death that made the most sense for that person. The one who died by speedboat. He was doomed before he went on the trip. As was mentioned, he fell down the stairs before the trip, fucking up his brain. He would have died if he went on the trip or not. The thing with the curse is, that it has to start in the town itself. If the guy hadn't hit his head before the trip, he wouldn't have died, because then the curse wouldn't have been able to do its thing. It is only because of the fall before the trip, that he could die outside of the town.

I thought the "New principal" Didn't buy the 9-3 Curse bs Either way curse gonna happen without him, He wasn't the extra, And the extra wasn't a student, I mean even if he did ignore her, Deaths would still happen, Because they didn't ignore an extra teacher, And mei would just be defenseless, Koicihi practically protected her most of the time.

@@gudztrip3642 I guess I missed where they said the principal was new. I don't remember it being mentioned but it has been a couple of years since I last watched the series. Either way, you're right that it would've eventually been triggered anyway with or without Kouichi.

Got to love protagonists who don't press the issue of getting answers when someone to the effect of just blows them off with 'Don't worry about it stop asking questions.' I don't care how non confrontation a person is. when bodies start hitting the floor you'd think a person would grow a spine and pus ha little harder with even the most simple retort of 'Why not?" even getting an answer of 'The less you know the safer this is for all of us as knowing more about it makes it more deadly.'

I'd like to point out that elevators have a built-in mechanism that prevents them from crashing when the brakes fail or a cable snaps. Air pressure cushions the fall greatly however if the elevator had another elevator next to it with an open shaft that allowed the air to flow out from under the elevator then it might descend quick enough to do that. 18:30

[@DasBaguettehuhn]

Just to set something right. The ,,first class" did not ignore one student that died. They did the opposite. They acted as if he was still alive. He also was on the classphoto at the end of the year (after he already died). So that's why the dead feel invited into this class. Oh yes and Miss Makami Is his aunt.

While i get why it would piss you off, the funny shit is that ALL OF THIS could have been avoided if they just went "Oh, wait, there's 20 students instead of 19? Let's just tell the student with the lowest grades that they're expelled" no need for mistery, no need to ignore a student.

30:23 - 31:43 OK -- I seriously can't believe this happened. This black-haired kid came onto the trip, clearly sick to his stomach (literally - dude was throwing up), then was not only allowed to come to the beach, but swam thousands out into the ocean just to grab a plastic, cheap-ass beach ball that'd cost maybe a dollar or two? I know the curse was at work, but Holy-fucking-Hell, mate; seriously? Common sense just wasn't practiced here, ESPECIALLY with the adults. I honestly don't even blame the curse for his death because the absolute lack of brain from these people probably killed him before the curse could even do anything. His life would've been extended a little longer.

[@xooox_1777]

Hmm let's split this into 3 sections First: Before the School Year Second: During the School Year Third: Finds out killing the dead person is the way to prevent this. First Scenario, why should she introduce it, mind you she has an eye that can see the dead or will die, scientist will be running for that shi Second scenario: she was shunned and ignored, even if she actively try to talk to them, and there's no reason for Mei to thunk that killing the dead person would stop the curse. Third: Plot kept interrupting everytime she tries to give info to the MC, and bit by bit everyone dies because of the secret being revealed, and Mei wanted to keep the MC from being depressed and not tell him that the dead is her aunt, after all he would have to kill his own aunt

If the MC's aunt was dead. How did she set up a meeting with the black-haired guy who survived the previous curse?

[@tartagliasjigglydworshipper]

because she was brought back by the curse as the dead one. the "dead ones" don't know that they're dead, and the curse makes it so that everyone involved with the curse have their memories altered. i mean, Koichi himself doesn't remember that her aunt was dead. as long as the curse is active, the "dead" will live as a "normal" being, not aware of their circumstances.

"Short" version: 1. Patient Zero dies. Class can't deal with it and everyone agrees that he is not dead. The curse begins as they see that at the last class picture in the spot they let free for patient zero is standing the "ghost"of the classmate. 2. Next year: people start dying, they can't do anything about it at the end of the shool-year they realize that someone died before the shool-year even started, but he was the whole time in their class like normal. The curse altered the memories of everyone involved so that they didn't know he was dead, the Dead one now disapears and memories are back to normal. 3. Next shool year starts, the same as last year someone died before the shool-year started but is now in class, memories altered so nobody knows who the dead one is. People are dying. Shool year ends. people remember again who died last year and took a place as the ghost. 4. they try to break the curse: different classroom ineffectiv, renaming classes ineffectiv, not having a class 3. it switches to another class, .... 5. The Idea: To even things out. Instead of saying someone dead is alive, they say someone alive is dead. One student is ignored in class, no people die, the curse is relativly controlled 6. Random year: They fail to ignore one person, the dying starts again. one student kills another student, the dying stops, only he remembers the person in class, eveyone else only that that person died right before the shool year started. If you kill the dead person the curse can not affect people for the rest of the year. but to prevent hysteria, because there is no way to tell the actual dead person apart from the living, the "murderer" keeps it a secret. But in case the ignore technique fails in another year he plants the record to help the hopeless- 7. Current year: The aunt dies in a random accident. the shool year starts, she is the dead in class, they use the ignore technique to be save (they think they are one person less in class because there is actually a free chair this year). MC transferes. They don't inform him. The dying begins. They find the tape. Chaos. He finds out that his aunt is the dead one and kills her. the dying ends in this year. 8. Everything will start again. Ignoring is the only way to keep a calm and controlled enviroment without deaths. If they not fail.
